• Stepping In: Run a route yourself when the team needs coverage.
• Road-Ready Fleet: Work with Fleet & Facilities on maintenance and inspection follow-up so every truck rolls out ready.
• Closing the Day: Close out route issues and customer escalations with each driver, and report results to the Delivery Manager.
• People Management: Partner with the Delivery Manager and HR on hiring, coaching, and corrective action for your team.
• Customer Relationships: Own same-day customer escalations and work with the sales team on account needs.

• Pay: $61,000-$70,000 per year
• Bi-weekly pay, plus on-demand pay available through Paylocity.
